The Punisher: One Last Kill

The Punisher: One Last Kill

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A pared-down, no-holds-barred actioner that further cements Jon Bernthal as the definitive interpreter of The Punisher in a self-contained, marvelous story that goes above and beyond for One Last Kill.

Read Critics Reviews
Audience Says

A brutally unhinged peak-TV special, The Punisher proves One Last Kill is nowhere near enough.

2/4
As is, “Punisher” is pure grindhouse fare with more grunts and groans than dialogue; it’ll make you long for something with more meat on its bones. Go to Full Review Zaki Hasan San Francisco Chronicle May 16, 2026
[Bernthal] is so fully locked into this version of the Punisher, physically and emotionally, that even when the material tips into excess, he keeps it grounded. Go to Full Review Amon Warmann Empire Magazine May 14, 2026
4/5
Reinaldo Marcus Green and Jon Bernthal locate and explore Frank Castle’s essence in brutal, bloody and heartfelt fashion. Go to Full Review André Didyme-Dôme Rolling Stone en Español Aug 18, 2026
It works remarkably well because Bernthal deeply loves this character, and that's palpable every minute. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers Jun 26, 2026
"The Punisher: One Last Kill" only serves as an entertaining but inadequate teaser. Go to Full Review Joseph Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast Jun 9, 2026
5/5
Violent, pulse-pounding, and often harrowing, the special transcends standard comic fare to dive deep into the Punisher's dark and troubled psychosis. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Terry R @Trouss 20 hrs ago Complete and utter propoganda garbage. All of the criminals and thugs in here are white and all of the good people are black. This is what they do best. They hire bad actors for their skin color and if you are white they make you a criminal and if you are black you are a hero saint. Its the EXACT opposite of real life. They act like we dont have eyes and ears. I cant believe that low IQ people eat this garbage up. You cant get an honest rating for a movie anymore. If its bad they put nothing but good ratings using bots and if its good but doesnt go with their agenda they flood with bad reviews from bots. Evil has really taken over this world. I didnt realize that Idiocracy was a documentary! Dont believe me? Watch this and you will see that its the opposite of the world we live in. See more Jeff S @RT39828546 5 days ago A lot of really odd decisions were made a long the way in this. The "now is the time" metal song played over a killing montage was hard to move past and that happens after a tiny dog gets thrown in front of a truck, so that’s just where we are in this apparently. They went for shock and got cringe. That said, it’s Punisher and a few moments were enjoyable. See more Fernando P @pineyro Sep 29, 2026 Completely plotless, just 40 minutes of frankly really boring action, and paper thin attempts to give Frank a character. Jon Berthal does a good job screaming the whole time, I guess. It's borderline comedic. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Sep 26, 2026 A pared-down, no-holds-barred actioner that further cements Jon Bernthal as the definitive interpreter of The Punisher in a self-contained, marvelous story that goes above and beyond for One Last Kill. No need for the animal abuse or mental health issues though. See more Brenden D @WestWardReviews Sep 23, 2026 A GRITTY VOLATILE CARNAGE DESSERT..... With A Couple Of Miss-Steps Absolutely Love Them Tackling Frank's Mental Health Issues From Depression To PTSD, And When He Finally Goes Full Punisher ABSOLUTELY WRECKING DUDES FOR 12-20 Minutes Straight, IT'S PURE Heaven. 3 Issues 1) Stop Redoing His Origin Story Over & Over Again 2) Either Give A Second Warning About The Scene With The Dog Or Don't Kill A Dog In A Punisher Special 3) THE CGI IN THE ONE SHOT 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Took Me Right Out Of The Scene Fix Those, And You Have A PERFECT PUNISHER SPECIAL B+ 8.2/10 MUST WATCH FOR MARVEL & ACTION FANS See more Claire K @RT66408046 Sep 17, 2026 What was that?! No storyline...pointless killing. A real let down. See more Read all reviews
